An Example Needed.

1t will not be matter OF regret II 1t
shall be found that there Is something in
the transactions Of Henry 3. Ives upon
which an indictment can be based with n
good chance OF bringing him to punish.
ment. His whole recent career appears
to have been one of systematic appropri.
alton OF other peoples money to his own
use, which from moral point of view
condemns him as robber quite as much
as would the deliberate theft OF the
amounts have done, but so far as investi.
cation has proceeded he seems to have
carried on his schemes with
such shrcwdness, under the
advice OF an unusual array Of legal adj
viser3, as to have successfully guarded
himself against responsibility at law.
That he felt bis security was clearly
shown in the unconcern he manifested
when the committee to Investigate his
books called upon him, and IN the assur-
ance with which he met the demand for
his resignation. Surrounded by his law
yers, Ives merrily informed the men he
had robbed, that the information they
sought they could not have. and as to
surendering the Official position he held
il was question he would deter.
mine in his own good time. He finally
acceded to the demand, but not until he
had made terms and conditions satisfac-
tory to himself. There is, perhaps, no
other country in which similar pro.
ceeding could take place.
1t Is rarely, however, that the most
sagaclous rogue fails to overreach, and it
may happen that Ives is not an exception.
1t is reported that his transactions in the
Vandalia road were of nature that may
subject him to prosecution. His thefts in
that connection are said to have been less
guarded while equally thorough. He left
nothing within reach that could
be made available. The disposition
to bring him to account is not lacking,
and there is still possibility that this
last addition to the list of phenomena
fnanciers may be made an example Of.
1t will be we'll if this shall be done, for
such examples are needed. How much
effect they might have in deterring other
smart and daring rascals from pursuing
a like course cannot be told, but there is
satisfaction in the assurance that the
sort Of villainy of which Ives is guilty
can be and will be punished.
Everywhere there is dispo.
sition to make the way of the boodler
hard, and it is high time that the ex.
ploiters of railroads were given to un-
derstand that justice is not blind to their
| crimes against the public welfare.

KINGS AND QUEENS.

Prince William of Prussia is handsome,
and his wife Is tall, fair, and pleasant-look-
ing. ra1
King Milan of Servia cannot induce Queen
Natalie to speak to him or even to open the
letters he writes to her. If any miserable
king thinks he has power to boss woman,
he makes mistake.
Princess Elizabeth of Russia has naughty
carriage, which contrasts agreeably with her
smiling face. Her jewels were magnificent,
and like Mrs. Merdle, she has figure calcu-
lated to display them to the best advantage.
Princess Frederick is very tall and fair, and
looks sweet-natured and digniied at the same
time. She seems to be in fragile health. The
two daughters of the grand duke of Hesse
are nice-looking girls, especially one OF them,
who has charming face.
The marvellous vein of luck of the Sake
COburg family does not yet seem exhausted.
Prince Ferdinand of that ilk has been unan-
imously elected by the Sobranie to succeed
Prince Alexander Battenberg as sovereign Of
Bulgaria. Prince Ferdinand is a grandson
OF Louis Philippe, his mother being the
Princess Clementine of Orleans. HIS father
was the Augustua spoken of in Theodore
Martins Life of the Prince Consort as the
cousin who built a Catholic cathedral at
Saxe-COburg. Prince Ferdinand used to be
called as an infant in his family, "the flower
of Old age"

paper called 'plastor board" In place OF
plaster. The idea will be to do away
with expensive labor, such as mason
work and plastering. A house built al
most entirely by the carpenter, who Is
comparatively cheap mechanic, will
reduce the cost of tenements
very materially and enable landlords to
lower their rents. This is as desirable in
Omaha as in New York. Omaha, more
than any other city needs convenient,
well-vontilated tenement houses for
wage workers. Flats are all we'll enough
for parties who must reside within
twenty minutes walk of the court house,
but the great mass Of wage-workers want
the comforts of separate tenement
house at rental that will come within

THE superintendent of the state census
can easily verify Omaha's claim of q
population Of $4,000 and more, at the re-
quest of the postollice authorities. When
this is done strenuous effort should be

fcient. There are not one-half enough
lock.boxes to meet the demand for them.
There should be at least two clerks in the

ment, and the windows should be placed
where the continuous string Of men

out the day. There are other important
improvements which will readily suggest
themselves whenever authority is given

The hostile attitude recently shown by
the Canadian fishery authorities toward
American fishermen gives pertinence to
the question whether this government is
keeping its eye on events in that quarter.
There has been very little from Washing
ton of late to indicate that Mr.. Bayard is
fully awake to the circumstances, and
there is beginning to be some inquiry as
to whether the retaliation act has been
lost, or the administration has deter
mined to hold it back for cam
paign purposes. We haven't kept
track of the number of Amer
lean vessels that have been chased
away and selzed during the past months,
but there have been several OffenseS of
this kind which we suppose it is the duty
of the state department to investigate.
1t may be that it is now busy at this very
work, but if so it is pursuing it very
quietly. and it is not the habit of the
state department to hide it's light under
bushel. The latest advices announce
that another British man-ot-war has
arrived IN the fishing waters with hostile
intent, and there is an unconfrmed re-
port of the sinking of an American
schooner by Canadian cruiser. These
circumstances are pretty sure
to renew public interest in the fishery
controversy. and MIR. Bayard is likely to
hear the buzzing of the popular clamor
unless he promptly makes known that he
he is not neglecting American fishing in
terests where they are being assailed.

AMONG number of sapient sugges-

AMONG q number of sapient sugges-
tions drawn out by the late terrible rail.
road calamity is that of the Chicago Tri-
bu,,e, which advises that railroad com.
panies be compelled to construct culverts
of iron. Wooden culverts, it observes,
are liable to get dry and take fire, while
those of iron are always stable and Sc
cure. Why not stone for culverts? Isn't
that infinitely more stable and secure
than iron, which contracts and expands
with the extremes of temperature, and is
liable to be injured and weakened by
conditions that do not affect stone? AS to
the relative cost of these several mate.
rials that should never be a question.
That material which assures the maxi
mum Of immunity from danger is the
one to be selected, without reference to
what it may cost as compared with some
other material not so safe. An iron cul-
vert, so far as we are informed, would be
an innovation, and not desirable one.
Wooden culverts ought to be prohibited.
A stone culvert, properly constructed, is
safe, durable, and in the long run at
least the most economical.

A GLANCE at our session laws raises

A GLANCE at our session laws raises
doubt as to whether the board of educa-
ton can legally cxpend above $25, 900 for
school sites and buildings without re.
submission of the proposition to create
such debt to popular vote. The
authority to purchase school sites and
erect buildings was given by the voters
of this district under the law regulating
schools in cities of the first class. There
is no provision in the new law that con-
fers the powers granted to the old Omaha
school district upon the officers OF the
new district. This is very important
matter, and 1t behooves the board of ed
ucatlon to take steps to have the law in
terpreted by some authority competent

Farmers Should ii ave More Influence
New York Tribune

The citizens who ought to have the largest
influence in the republic are the farmers.
They, and those Immediately dependent upon
them, are majority of ail the people. but
that is not all. The farmer is necessarily a
producer; in getting his livelihood he neces-
sarily adds to the wealth of the country and
supplies the wants of others. Yet the infu-
ence of the farmers has always been rela-
lively small in the general government.
They have always been scattered and com
paratively isolated. Combination among
them for any public purpose is more difficult
than in other occupations. ThOug the build
ing of railroads and other means of transpor-
tation has lowered that barrier, it has not
been wholly removed. Organization among
farmers has always been especially difficult
1t is supposed that there are 5000 agricultural
societies, oranges and other farmers organ
izations in the United States, but though the
increase in their membership of late years
has been considerable, they certainly en-
brace but minority OF the farming voters,
